I recently bought a cobra intake manifold and I'm planning to install it next winter, replacing the stock HO intake. I made a shopping list based on the Haynes manual. Anything else comes to your mind what I forgot? Any additional advice?
- Lower intake to heads bolts
- upper intake to to lower intake bolts
- end seals
- intake to heads gaskets
- upper to lower intake gasket
- throttle body to intake gasket
- EGR valve gasket
- gasket removal solvent (lacquer thinner, or acetone)
- gasket scraper
- electrically conductive sealant (for temp sensor)
- RTV
- new strut tower brace to fit higher intake (BBK?)
The torquing sequence for the lower intake for 5.0 is missing in the Haynes manual. Can you tell me the right sequence?
While researching the forum, I found this thread mentioning that some sealant has to be put on some upper intake bolts because it goes to a water jacket? It was not mentioned in the manual. Is it so? Can you tell me which bolts and what kind of sealant?
